Position Summary
The Bureau of Planning and Sustainability (BPS) and the Portland Clean Energy Community Benefits Fund are seeking one or more building decarbonization-focused project managers (Coordinator II) with a strong work and/or lived experience with climate justice to join the PCEF team. Being part of the PCEF team is a fast-paced, dynamic, and fluid endeavor. These positions will be part of a team that is responsible for managing investments of approximately $1 billion over the next five years in projects and programs that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and advance racial and social justice. Channels for funding distribution include strategic programs that are currently under development and through an ongoing community grant program.
PCEF funding is provided through both grants and contracts. Many PCEF grantees will come from communities that have historically not been given access to decision-making processes or work in the climate sector; management of these grants will require building strong relationships, supporting project development, and close monitoring to ensure that grantees are successful and that public funds are stewarded for maximum environmental and social benefit. In some cases, PCEF may work with more well-established organizations that will require close monitoring to ensure that they are successful in implementing programs in a way that centers and serves communities of color and people with low income.
This recruitment seeks to fill positions on the clean energy team, focused on building decarbonization projects. Clean energy grants and contracts will include planning, energy efficiency, and renewable energy on existing buildings, beyond code new construction, community solar, and the development of other community-based clean energy solutions. PCEF provides clean energy funding for improvements in both residential and non-residential buildings. Clean energy is the largest funding area within the PCEF program. This position will be joining five existing staff currently working in the clean energy group. Once fully staffed this group will have at least ten staff.
As part of this recruitment for the clean energy team, PCEF is seeking applicants with experience in the following sectors:
• Commercial and multifamily energy projects: Commercial (e.g., retail, schools, offices, places of worship) and multifamily new construction and/or retrofits with a focus on energy efficiency and renewable energy. • Single-family energy projects: New construction and/or retrofit of single-family housing with a focus on energy efficiency and renewable energy. PCEF will rely on the selected candidates' high level of project management experience, knowledge of building decarbonization project implementation, and communication skills to help ensure that our grantees and contractors have a positive experience and receive the support they need to be successful in implementing their projects and programs.
As a Clean Energy Coordinator, you will:
• Support grantees in fulfilling deliverables and reporting for decarbonization projects and programs by serving as the primary point of contact, defining scopes and metrics with grantees and contractors, monitoring progress, processing invoices, and ensuring compliance and quality assurance. • Manage PCEF grants and contracts by troubleshooting and collaborating with grantees and contractors to resolve issues and support project success. • Review and evaluate project proposals as part of a team, providing input and recommendations on awards and management processes. • Participate in facilitated multi-stakeholder engagement by supporting collaboration, improving outcomes, developing best practices, and sharing lessons learned with grantees, contractors, and stakeholders. • Assist with program analysis by identifying barriers and best practices in collaboration with the PCEF team, contributing to the program's continuous improvement efforts.
As a person, you have:
• Lived Experience: Firsthand knowledge of and connection to marginalized communities, with a deep understanding of how historical racism and disinvestment have shaped present realities. • Social Intelligence: Strong communication skills that foster ease and understanding, allowing you to engage effectively with individuals from a variety of roles and backgrounds. • Collaborative and Inclusive Approach: Comfort in sharing power, working together toward collective goals, and guiding others through conflict resolution with a trauma-informed perspective. • Equity-Driven Mindset: A commitment to driving systemic change to address both historical and ongoing discrimination, with experience in evaluating and reshaping processes to promote fairness and eliminate barriers for more equitable outcomes. • Empathetic Understanding: The ability to approach difficult conversations and sensitive topics with professionalism, compassion, and an awareness of the impact of equity and justice issues on communities.
About the Portland Clean Energy Community Benefits Fund:
As a first-in-the-nation community-led climate fund, PCEF's mission is to broaden community resilience and economic opportunity through climate action that advances racial and social justice. By partnering with community organizations, government agencies, and businesses engaged in the climate and justice movements, PCEF enables local solutions to many of the city's most urgent challenges.
PCEF awards grants and contracts that serve communities with historically limited access to opportunity in the energy, transportation, construction, employment, agricultural, and green infrastructure industries. The Fund enables partnerships that result in cleaner air, healthier schoolchildren, more affordable energy, and other environmental and social benefits for communities most impacted by climate change. PCEF-funded projects and programs demonstrate benefits to frontline communities, have support from community leaders, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and are accountable to the public.
PCEF was created through a ballot initiative passed by Portland voters in November 2018. It raises revenue through a one percent business licensing surcharge on revenue generated in Portland by certain large retailers. The Fund collects approximately $200 million in annual revenue for clean energy, transportation, green infrastructure, regenerative agriculture, and workforce and contractor development projects and programs. It is housed in the City of Portland's Bureau of Planning and Sustainability (BPS). For more information visit the PCEF https://www.portland.gov/bps/cleanenergy.
About the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability:
BPS is a leader in land use planning, climate action, environmental stewardship, and urban design. BPS centers racial equity in its work and is dedicated to creating a Portland that is more equitable, healthy, prosperous, and resilient. The bureau oversees a world-renowned waste and recycling system and leads the U.S. in its commitment to open data and protecting communities in the application of technologies. Staff collaborate with partners on neighborhood, economic, historic, and environmental planning and provide research, policy, and technical services to advance energy efficiency and renewable energy, as well as policies and actions to address climate change.
BPS values a diverse workforce and seeks ways to promote equity and inclusion within the organization. Candidates of color, those who can speak a language other than English, and those with knowledge, ability, and experience working with a broad range of individuals and diverse communities are often representative of PCEF priority populations, which is helpful in delivering PCEF projects and programs.
Studies have shown that women, non-binary people, and Black, Indigenous, and other people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet every one of the qualifications listed. BPS considers lived experience, and transferrable skills as qualifying unless an item is labeled as required. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and the best candidate may be one who comes from a less traditional background. We strongly encourage you to apply.

In some cases, PCEF may work with more well-established organizations that will require close monitoring to ensure that they are successful in implementing programs in a way that centers and serves communities of color and people with low income.
This recruitment seeks to fill positions on the clean energy team, focused on building decarbonization projects. Clean energy grants and contracts will include planning, energy efficiency, and renewable energy on existing buildings, beyond code new construction, community solar, and the development of other community-based clean energy solutions. PCEF provides clean energy funding for improvements in both residential and non-residential buildings. Clean energy is the largest funding area within the PCEF program. This position will be joining five existing staff currently working in the clean energy group. Once fully staffed this group will have at least ten staff.
As part of this recruitment for the clean energy team, PCEF is seeking applicants with experience in the following sectors:
• Commercial and multifamily energy projects: Commercial (e.g., retail, schools, offices, places of worship) and multifamily new construction and/or retrofits with a focus on energy efficiency and renewable energy. • Single-family energy projects: New construction and/or retrofit of single-family housing with a focus on energy efficiency and renewable energy. PCEF will rely on the selected candidates' high level of project management experience, knowledge of building decarbonization project implementation, and communication skills to help ensure that our grantees and contractors have a positive experience and receive the support they need to be successful in implementing their projects and programs.
As a Clean Energy Coordinator, you will:
• Support grantees in fulfilling deliverables and reporting for decarbonization projects and programs by serving as the primary point of contact, defining scopes and metrics with grantees and contractors, monitoring progress, processing invoices, and ensuring compliance and quality assurance. • Manage PCEF grants and contracts by troubleshooting and collaborating with grantees and contractors to resolve issues and support project success. • Review and evaluate project proposals as part of a team, providing input and recommendations on awards and management processes. • Participate in facilitated multi-stakeholder engagement by supporting collaboration, improving outcomes, developing best practices, and sharing lessons learned with grantees, contractors, and stakeholders. • Assist with program analysis by identifying barriers and best practices in collaboration with the PCEF team, contributing to the program's continuous improvement efforts.
As a person, you have:
• Lived Experience: Firsthand knowledge of and connection to marginalized communities, with a deep understanding of how historical racism and disinvestment have shaped present realities. • Social Intelligence: Strong communication skills that foster ease and understanding, allowing you to engage effectively with individuals from a variety of roles and backgrounds. • Collaborative and Inclusive Approach: Comfort in sharing power, working together toward collective goals, and guiding others through conflict resolution with a trauma-informed perspective. • Equity-Driven Mindset: A commitment to driving systemic change to address both historical and ongoing discrimination, with experience in evaluating and reshaping processes to promote fairness and eliminate barriers for more equitable outcomes. • Empathetic Understanding: The ability to approach difficult conversations and sensitive topics with professionalism, compassion, and an awareness of the impact of equity and justice issues on communities.
About the Portland Clean Energy Community Benefits Fund:
As a first-in-the-nation community-led climate fund, PCEF's mission is to broaden community resilience and economic opportunity through climate action that advances racial and social justice. By partnering with community organizations, government agencies, and businesses engaged in the climate and justice movements, PCEF enables local solutions to many of the city's most urgent challenges.
PCEF awards grants and contracts that serve communities with historically limited access to opportunity in the energy, transportation, construction, employment, agricultural, and green infrastructure industries. The Fund enables partnerships that result in cleaner air, healthier schoolchildren, more affordable energy, and other environmental and social benefits for communities most impacted by climate change. PCEF-funded projects and programs demonstrate benefits to frontline communities, have support from community leaders, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and are accountable to the public.
PCEF was created through a ballot initiative passed by Portland voters in November 2018. It raises revenue through a one percent business licensing surcharge on revenue generated in Portland by certain large retailers. The Fund collects approximately $200 million in annual revenue for clean energy, transportation, green infrastructure, regenerative agriculture, and workforce and contractor development projects and programs. It is housed in the City of Portland's Bureau of Planning and Sustainability (BPS). For more information visit the PCEF https://www.portland.gov/bps/cleanenergy.

To that end, we are charged with developing citywide housing policy, delivering programs that increase the supply of affordable housing and promote stable homeownership, and administering a broad range of federal and local resources. Through our policies, plans, and funding, PHB works to stabilize families in their current homes, provide new affordable housing opportunities, and foster equitable, integrated, and diverse communities.
The mission of the Portland Housing Bureau is to solve the unmet housing needs of the people of Portland. The Bureau accomplishes its mission by building and preserving quality, affordable rental, and owner-occupied housing; supporting and sponsoring programs that help low-income Portlanders find, rent, buy, retain, and repair their homes; bringing together partners and leading them to assess the city's housing needs, choose sustainable solutions to efficiently meet them, and identify how best to pay for them; and reaching out to Communities of Color to ensure their participation in the economic opportunities that quality housing investments create.
